Focus areas and approaches

Everything Michael lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present needs and workable changes. One common approach is focusing on attachment patterns - looking at how early relationships affect current trust and closeness, and practicing new ways of connecting. This can help with attachment issues, adopted teens' struggles, and relationship-related anxiety.

Another frequent focus addresses trauma and stress reactions through grounding and paced processing. This involves learning skills to manage strong emotions and then working through difficult memories at a manageable pace, which supports recovery from trauma and post-traumatic stress symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to early sessions. Together they will pick strategies that fit the person's life and adjust them over time in a collaborative way.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when schedules and bandwidth allow. Phone calls can be easier when camera time is difficult. Live chat and text messaging help with brief check-ins or when someone needs flexibility during the day. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines.
